Artists Statement:
"Having lived in Wyoming since 1963, I consider myself to be a semi-native Wyoming resident. The unique diversity and beauty found within Wyoming (as well as other areas within the United States) offers an abundance of inspiration for artistic endeavors. As an artist I enjoy the challenges of using watercolor and acrylic to re-create memories of times spent within and outside of Wyoming.
Watercolor and acrylic allows for spontaneity and controlled looseness but it can also be used to create intricate detail. I especially appreciate the brilliance of color and the illusion of light that can be achieved. Utilizing these properties, a work of art can be created to intrigue the viewer while also leaving some interpretation to the individual.
Paintings that portray my grandchildren playing in years past recall both humor and wonder as I recall times spent together. More recent work has been exploring nature’s landscapes and creating my interpretation of those images. When I begin a piece, I must remember what first peaked my interest. Then as an artist, I strive to create a mood that will draw others into that subject."
